'The Monk was so highly popular that it seemed to create an epoch in our literature', wrote Sir Walter Scott. Set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid, The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads its main character, the monk Ambrosio, to temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Inspired by German horror romanticism and the work of Ann Radcliffe, Lewis produced his masterpiece at the age of nineteen. It contains many typical Gothic elements - seduction in a monastery, lustful monks, evil Abbesses, bandits and beautiful heroines. But, as the Introduction to this new edition shows, Lewis also played with convention, ranging from gruesome realism to social comedy, and even parodied the genre in which he was writing. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

讀後感
故事好像是在说信奉主的人时时刻刻也被魔鬼盯着 一个引诱一切能引诱的，一个救赎一切能被救赎的 能被救赎的从一开始就不会被引诱 而能被引诱的从一开始就毫无希望 所以说活着 要么毫无信仰 要么毫无希望
評分出于对哥特式文学早先时期作品的好奇 我打开了这本富有“浮士德”意味的书… 是一本讲德高望重的修道院院长逐渐堕落的故事 作者19岁时写下了它 文法略显稚嫩 情节也有些无（ě）语（xīn）不能登上文学之大雅之堂 仅可作为消遣读物来阅读 但不得不说 这部作品为后世的哥特风格...
評分我再一次欣赏到一部世界名著！故事讲的是一个外表道貌岸然的修道院院长实际却是犯了与妖女苟合、杀人、强奸再灭口的滔天罪行！“恶有恶报”，他不知道自己犯下了“弑母”、“乱伦”和屠杀亲人的罪行！因为她们是他失散多年的母亲和妹妹！对此他毫不知情.... 刘易斯这位2...
評分会有点疑惑，哥特式小说的荒诞、恐怖放在今天的大环境下，是不是有点过时和不与时俱进？ 剧情的发展很简单，总是一个人、一个时间点就能触发情节的发展。人都不可能是完美的，总有这样那些缺点，如果我老是抱着完美的态度对待，那不是自己给自己找不痛快么？但...
評分小说具有哥特小说的几大重要元素--幽闭的空间，被囚禁的女性，和哥特恶棍等，同时也影射了一些重要的问题，比如宗教和宗教人员的堕落，以及强制的禁欲主义所带来的恶果（这一点甚至让人想起奥古斯丁的《忏悔录》里的反面的例证似的回应）。但是小说的硬伤不少，第一在于叙事结...
用戶評價
現在看來這本起碼可讀性強多瞭，盡管書中情節如今都被用爛瞭，但在當時應該還好
评分兩條情節綫脫離稍嚴重，人物過多有點讓人混亂。不過語言流暢自然，一口氣讀下去不帶喘，還算過癮啦。
评分格調低 像童話 又沒有教育意義 語言勉強能看
评分無甚吐槽點
